Configuration settings for NetApp E-Series storage systems

The GUI access enables the intuitive setup of the NetApp E-Series storage system logical unit numbers (LUNs) and masking/export to the Storwize® V3500 system.

The setup is straightforward as Storwize V3500 detects the controller without a LUN being presented. Mask LUNs exclusively to Storwize V3500 as a host group.

You must configure the following settings for NetApp E-Series systems:
  • Set the host type for Storwize V3500 to SVC.
  • Set the system so that both storage systems have the same worldwide node name (WWNN).
  • Ensure that the AVT option is enabled. The host type selection SVC enables the AVT option. View the storage system profile data to confirm that you have the AVT option enabled.
  • You must have the following options that are enabled on any logical units that are mapped to NetApp E-Seriessystems:
    • Read caching
    • Write caching
    • Write cache mirroring
  • You must not have caching without batteries enabled.
